Making absolute reference to a classpath in Maven - java

I have a customized jar that the application uses. Instead of installing jar in maven I want to make reference to it by defining absolute location for that jar in the manifest file. I am using the code shown below to update information in manifest file. However, I am not sure how can I reference to the jar location that uses absolute path like : D:/Shared_library/Test.jar . This might not be a good practice but I want to see if there is anything like that:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<mainClass>org.ad.MainClass</mainClass>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>


You can add it using <manifestEntries> tag.
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifestEntries>
<Class-Path>file:///D:/Shared_library/Test.jar</Class-Path>
</manifestEntries>
<manifest>
<mainClass>org.ad.MainClass</mainClass>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

I was getting an error ProgramInvocationException while trying upload a jar file to flink local server
Here is the pom.xml of code

No main manifest attribute in .jar

I search in Internet many information, but I don't know what's porblem is that...
Please, check this:
Manifest:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: BotPolytechnic
POM:
<groupId>FPolytechnic</groupId>
<artifactId>FPolytechnic</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.2</version>
<configuration>
<source>1.6</source>
<target>1.6</target>
<archive>
<manifest>
<mainClass>BotPolytechnic</mainClass>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

use instead the maven-jar-plugin to make the JAR executable:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
<mainClass>fully.qualified.MainClass</mainClass>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>

mvn jar file : library include failed

I did mvn package and ran my file by doing java -jar target\output.jar
All the jar libraries specified in the dependency of pom.xml are not included. Do advice what's wrong below. Thanks!
Below is my pom.xml to allow jar file generation.
<plugin>
<!-- Build an executable JAR -->
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.1.0</version>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
<classpathPrefix>lib/</classpathPrefix>
<mainClass>com.workspez.psg.letrikEtara.PlanetGroupLetrikEtara</mainClass>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>

Try and compare/complete your declaration with the ones in "Including dependencies in a jar with Maven", like adding the executions section.
Or, if this is not working, consider the maven shade plugin, whic can achieve a simlar goal.

Got it working. This was missing:
<descriptorRefs>
<descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>
</descriptorRefs>
To the following should work:
<plugin>
<!-- Build an executable JAR -->
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.1.0</version>
<configuration>
<descriptorRefs>
<descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>
</descriptorRefs>
<archive>
<manifest>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
<classpathPrefix>lib/</classpathPrefix>
<mainClass>com.workspez.psg.letrikEtara.PlanetGroupLetrikEtara</mainClass>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>

No main manifest attribute error when running jar

I have create a maven project. It is running fine. Now i want to run my code through jar. After maven build i got a jar file in .m2 folder. When I try to run this jar using
java -jar "jar path"
getting no main manifest attribute, in "jar path".
My POM.xml is
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.3</version>
<configuration>
<source>1.8</source>
<target>1.8</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.2.1</version>
<configuration>
<mainClass>main.Application</mainClass>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Please suggest how to get over rid of the problem.

Now i want to run my code through jar
exec-maven-plugin is for executing a program during a maven build.
You don't want it.
And as a side note, you don't have specified any goal for it.
So, it will do nothing.
You want to package your jar in a way that it is executable.
So use rather the maven-jar-plugin :
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<mainClass>main.Application</mainClass>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
To create a JAR with dependencies specified in the pom, instead of, use the maven-assembly-plugin with the jar-with-dependencies descriptorRef:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<mainClass>main.Application</mainClass>
</manifest>
</archive>
<descriptorRefs>
<descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>
</descriptorRefs>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

Putting version information in manifest file into JAR using Maven

I am trying to find a way of putting version information in manifest file into JAR using Maven?
For WAR files I use the following in my POM.XML
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.6</version>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
<addDefaultImplementationEntries>true</addDefaultImplementationEntries>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
and then I run "mv clean package"
How would you do this for a JAR.. Can you please give me details information on the changes and the commands... thanks

You can use maven-jar-plugin (the configuration is nearly the same as maven-war-plugin)
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.6</version>
<configuration>
<archive>
<index>true</index>
<manifest>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
</manifest>
<manifestEntries>
<mode>development</mode>
<url>${project.url}</url>
<key>value</key>
</manifestEntries>
</archive>
</configuration>
...
</plugin>
Here the documentation of the plugin: https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-jar-plugin/examples/manifest-customization.html
And all options: http://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-archiver/index.html
